It's where all the bros like to go hang out at Nordstrom and talk about their ed hardy jeans, affliction t-shirts, and mark nason boots.

How does one determine the proper spot on the nose to wear sunglasses? Are there any rules to live by or is it just a matter of taste? It seems to me that lots of people wear larger glasses like original wayfarers in a way that completely hides the eyebrows, which usually looks bad to me.

I'm considering buying some of the Mcqueen type persols, and the non-folding type fit me pretty similarly to my original wayfarers when i tried em on, but I might be leaning towards them for sentimental reasons more than because they look good on me.

I was thinking about picking up a pair of Denim Bar's old China KMW (hey, at those prices, who cares about potential lead poisoning), but am unsure of sizing on the rinsed models. I'm a 30 in RB11, a 30 in Corpus Fines, and a 31 in Nudies.

If your going to get the rocker or 1980 I'd go with a 31 presuming you like the fit of your nudies; both cuts are fairly slim.

i'm looking to get another pair of vans. right now i have a pair of navy era and a pair of grey suede slip-on(awesome by the way).

i was looking at getting a pair to wear with shorts for the summer and i'm split between the the true white and the off-white/eggshell.

any thoughts?

Don't get true white. They look bad dirty in the slip on version.

how do you purchase belts online? ... do you go with +2 over your true waist size or exactly your waist size for belts?

It varies brand by brand.

For example though, Tanner Goods belts are already graded up 2", so you just order your waist size. It's best to just contact the seller/company to find out.

any decent site you're ordering a belt from should tell you how they size their belts

Or any other alternatives?
